More "sexting" allegations in another Bay State town have landed six young boys in trouble.

The Falmouth middle school students from the Lawrence School were accused of passing naked pictures of a fellow student on their cell phones. They may be facing several charges, including child pornography charges.

The principal, Paul Fay, allegedly discovered naked images of the 13-year-old girlfriend of one of the students on the phones.

The student allegedly snapped the picture and then sent it on to a group of his friends, who ranged in age from 12 to 14 years old, the Cape Cod Times reported. They were not arrested.

This is the third sexting incident in three months in the Bay State. In Billerica recently, the picture of a naked 14-year-old girl was allegedly sent to more than 100 cell phones.

In Falmouth, the school was expected to send a letter home to parents informing them about the dangers of sexting. A closed hearing on whether to press charges will be scheduled, police said.
